Day 05 of Atlas Shaves 2 โ€“ Electric Boogaloo Wed 05 Feb 2025

  • Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Manchurian
  • Razor: Puma 88 (5/8", round tip, carbon steel, hollow ground)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. โ€“ Christmas Eve
  • Post Shave: Old Spice โ€“ Original
  • Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts โ€“ Autumn Ash

I was a bit afraid when these scent notes came up because I couldn't think of any soaps I have that shave 2 or more of them. Turns out I'm just very bad at knowing which scent notes are in my soaps, and I have (at least) Autumn Ash, Samhain, Christmas Eve, and Old Spice that fit the bill. Today I went with three pieces of software that all fit:

  • Soap Smooth โ€“ Pumpkin: Pumpkin, Ginger, Nutmeg, Cinnamon
  • Stirling Soap Co. โ€“ Christmas Eve: Pine, Fir, Evergreen, Vanilla, Cranberry, Mistletoe, Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger, Nutmeg
  • Old Spice โ€“ Old Spice: Aldehydes, Orange, Heliotrope, Carnation, Benzoin, Tonka Bean, Cedar, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Musk, Lemon, Vanilla, Jasmine, Geranium
  • Southern Witchcrafts โ€“ Autumn Ash: Maple, Spices (including cinnamon & nutmeg as per phteven_j), Smoke, Amber, Cedar, Oud, Rainwater, Plum, Blackberry, Ash, Birch Tar, Pumpkin, Coffee, Damp Earth, Mildew
